Backlog

I seem to be unable to catch up with all the goings-on I want to blog about. There’s way too much new stuff constantly coming up, plus important things other than blogging to do, and on top of it all I’ll be again going on a (short) trip, this time to South Bend/IN, to watch a soccer match between my favourite German team, Borussia Dortmund [BVB] and FC Liverpool – which, of course will lead to another blog post. Meanwhile, I’m still editing pictures from our trip to Albuquerque last autumn, our trip to Palo Duro a few days ago, and from the 4th of July festivities this year. Just to wet your appetite and to while away your waiting time, here are three pictures, one of each event:

That Palo Duro photo’s wonderful. I’ve been in the area, but not at Palo Duro itself. I’d love to get there, but I have about four dozen places I’d love to get to, and neither the time nor money for any of them just now. But by fall? Maybe so. And the weather will be better then, too!

It’s realli intyeresting that the camera, or rather, Google Photos, did that all by itself. I just took a few separate shots, not even bothering with a tripod for panning, and that’s the result.
I wish he would have a chance! At present, I’m very doubtful of any of his fellow democrats.

Yes, they are playing in the stadium. I have a seat just in the middle, in between the benches, quite close to the front [row c].
On my return, I will have to kill some time in Austin. I’ll arrive at 11:35PM on Monday, and will stay in Austin till the next afternoon [with a night at the La Quinta near the airport] to pick up Mary and her cousin, who will be returning from a Rolling Stones concert in Jacksonville/FL. Would you be interested in meeting for, let’s say, a lunch?

John, Monday is out of the question as I only arrive 25 minutes before midnight. I am only available on Tuesday, July 23. So it looks like we’ll have to postpone. But as we say in German, “aufgeschoben ist nicht aufgehoben” [postponed does not mean cancelled]. There will be another time.

Sorry I did not see the PM. I can move an appointment. How about lunch on Tuesday? I can meet you at LaQuinta and then we can go somewhere for lunch. Looking at about 11:30 AM. Let me know and I’ll move an appointment.

That would be great! So let’s meet on Tuesday. What if we meet somewhere in town? I think I have to check out by 11. But I can, of course, wait in the lobby.
I personally had been thinking of Treadgill’s or Schultze’s but I am open to suggestions.

Since you have Treadgills in mind and I’ve not eaten there, Let’s meet at Threadgill’s​. Say 11:30? (or choose a time) Send me an e-mail to johnhowell.wave@gmail.com and we can trade cell phone​ numbers so that if anything comes up we can stay in touch. looking forward to seeing you.
